Elliot Mann Your Bag
If you have been following my posts, then you probably know that my mom was a self-proclaimed hippie. And when I was a teenager myself, I was fascinated by this. I loved checking out my mom’s hippie clothes and would sometimes borrow things to wear. They were pretty cool, after all. During this time, I loved those cute little “hippie” bags that you could find just about anywhere. My favorite one was a cream crocheted crossbody. And even though I sort of grew out of the look as I grew older (I said sort of!), I still find myself secretly adoring those cute little “hippie” bags all over again. So you can probably understand why I think the Elliot Mann Your Bag is pretty darn cool!
I stumbled upon this bag while browsing around on ShopBop’s website. I had never heard of this designer, but the look of this bag still drew me in nonetheless. It turns out that Elliot Mann is a New York-based designer with a flair for bohemian chic, one-of-a-kind accessories. What I like about this bag is that the beads, coins, and ribbons adorning the bottom edge were reclaimed from vintage Afghani wedding belts. Neat! I really do love the look too, it is very unique. Plus is looks so cool paired with the solid, accordion pleated navy canvas. The bag is accented with a long leather strap and leather drawstring closure, perfect for use as a simple crossbody pouch.

I’m not crazy about the pleating running along down the bag, but I like the detailing and design.
I think this designer needs to use a different naming structure. I like the “OMG” on the site.
A little too hippie-chic for me, although I do have to make point that I love that this designer uses reclaimed vintage Afghani wedding belts in his designs. Really neat.
I like it! Checking it out on the site for more details.
Love this! Passing this post along to my sisters.
Cute bag. I like the idea of re-using for detailing. Such a great finish.
Never heard of this designer before. Keeping them on my radar.
